A technology for converting waste materials to high quality large-area monolayer graphene film can be significant and thereby obtaining high value-added product. Here, we revealed the transformation of waste chicken fat into uniform monolayer graphene film on re-solidified Cu by a low pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD) technique. The evolve gas analyzer-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (EGA-GC-MS) analysis of chicken fat oil showed that the free fatty acid in chicken oil decomposed into a short hydrocarbon chains which makes it favorable to use as a carbon precursor for graphene synthesis. Growth of uniform monolayer graphene film on the re-solidified Cu was confirmed by Raman mapping, where 2D to G peak intensity ratio (I-2D/I-G) is 3.0 at most of the area. Thus, the use of waste from poultry industry as a carbon source instead of commonly used hydrocarbon gas sources for graphene synthesis can be an approach for green nanotechnology.
